🚨🇫🇷 Didier Deschamps: “I will ask a question… does the referee possess the required level to manage a World Cup semi-final?”.

no wonder this guy hates MLS he got fired from LA galaxy lmaooo (and their website apparently hasn’t been updated since 2019 bc it still claims he works there)

The more you support MLS, the more you’re part of the problem. No exceptions

“They [the masses] are saying, ‘I'm out on American soccer. I'm out on the USMNT. I will never believe again. I will never have an expectation of this team again.’” 😳 Sebastian Salazar says most casual fans are turned off by USMNT after the Belgian loss. He was talking to Hérculez Gómez for Duel Nats on YouTube, where they both agreed this was a failure and a missed opportunity after 50.1 million Americans watched across FOX, Telemundo, and Peacock. “Whatever international world kind of thinks of American soccer. It might hurt us every four years, but it doesn't really matter,“ Salazar said. “What matters is what the casuals think. It's what that 30 million that tuned in in English language [on FOX] think. We know it is probably 25 to 28 million casuals, people who almost never watch soccer. “And I'm telling you, you know I'm a big sports talk radio guy. And I've been impressed with the television coverage around the U.S. men's national team. “But TV's a little bit different than sports talk radio. You know, sports talk radio is almost 99% NFL. “And it is remarkable to me, before the failure against Belgium, how much they were kind of cutting through. And even since, how much they have cut through. They're still talking about this on sports talk radio. “But Herc, to your point, it's all negative. And what I hear from people who are talking to the masses right now, is basically what you said. “They're saying, ‘I'm out on American soccer. I'm out on the USMNT. I will never believe again. Sure, every four years, I'll pay attention and I'll follow, but I will never have an expectation of this team again.’ “And that, to me, is not just the missed opportunity, but a result of how badly the missed opportunity was missed. “It wasn't a 3-2 against England, almost getting it like Mexico had. It was a disastrous, humiliating, and not just humiliating like, you got played off the pitch. The boys just didn't show up. “And I think Americans, you always say it, they love a winner. But you know what else? They hate a loser. “And the team looked like losers on the day. The program looked like losers. I'll be honest, I kind of felt like a loser! “Somebody who's been championing American soccer for 20, 30 years, telling people that there's been progress and growth. You know what? I felt like a fool! “I felt like a fool. And I still feel like that four or five days after the game.”
